    I was disappointed since the restaurant was in such a great building and right across the street from the Fox theater. But it took forever to get our wine and even longer to get our food, which we ordered at the same time. And when we got our meal my wife's food wasn't seasoned very well (needed salt) and my steak wasn't even close to how I ordered it. The waitress appeared to be trying and was very polite, but the rest of the experience was not good.

    The location across from the Fox Theater is so convenient! The service was great, and the drinks were great too. We were able to have a wonderful dinner in the dining room and were still able to keep check on the score to the SEC championship game playing in the bar area. The servers were very mindful of our Fox Theater Show time, so the food was delicious and prompt.

    Attending an event at the Fox Theatre was a check on the Bucket List! While looking for a restaurant before the event for our 3 couples, I looked at proximity to Fox Theatre and Menu. Unfortunately, when we arrived we weren't pleased. None of the servers seemed like they wanted to be there, I was positioned at a table looking directly at the kitchen, the food was less than mediocre. The $45 filet tasted like it cost $12. No wonder the restaurant was almost empty at 6:30 on a December Thursday night. We will not be returning.

    This was a disappointing experience for a "fine dining" restaurant. The Thanksgiving dinner was served in an uncomfortable well-lit ballroom, and it seemed as if the staff rarely hosted events. Although they were friendly, they were inattentive. We also ate the following evening in the restaurant itself, and the experience was much better, though overpriced. The staff was very friendly, and the food was good, but the ambience wasn't great.

    Everything was great except for the $95 CC to guarantee our reservation. I was asked to give a CC# for $95 if we no-showed. I've never had that happen before. The manager in the restaurant said it was a mistake. I hope so because we have season tickets to the Fox and would love to do brunch as Livingston's. LaVonne Lindquist

    It’s a great place to dine before a show at the Fox. The only problem last night was that the starters had just arrived at the table when they brought the entrees out. The entrees were good, but sat on the table for several minutes as we ate our salads.

    Thank you for choosing the Livingston, we appreciate your business and your feedback.

    We had a 6pm Res ahead of our 7:30 start of the Wiz at the Fox acoss the street. Service started out slow and continued for the entire meal. I orderd a Manhatten and it was delivered in rock old fashion glass. Not a huge deal but shouldn't happen at a nice restaurant. We then wanted to split a Caesar salad which is how we ordered it from Kam our Waiter. What was brought was one plate with a wedge of lettuce. The "croutons" were crumbs on the side of the plate. Hard to believe the kitchen let it go out like that. We of course then had to ask for another plate to split it ourselves. The entrees were actually pretty good. We then wanted to finish with a cappuccino and was told they "weren't turning the machine on tonight". All in all a very disappointing dinner.

    Livingston Restaurant + BarResponded on November 17, 2023

    Thank you for choosing the Livingston, we appreciate your business and your feedback. Considering how busy we get on Fox Show nights, it is ideal that reservations are made as early as possible to ensure our best service! Table service averages from 1 hour and 30minutes to 2 hours, as our service is coursed. All food is made to order, with speedy options on our Bar Lounge Menu. Our Ceasar salad isn't prepared with full sized croutons, our plates esthetic is to have crouton crumbles on top of a wedged Ceaser salad, that is how we prepare it, we are so sorry you did not enjoy it! It's a house favorite! We are taking this feedback seriously to better serve you! We hope to serve you again in the near future to see service and food done right!

    Fish wasn’t cooked to temperature as requested and to be frank when I requested the salmon to be cooked medium rare the server looked extremely confused and questioned me about it. It was fairly busy but the meal took an hour to arrive after we placed orders.

    Spent over $200 for 2 people Super limited menu Food was cold Salad had Kraft ranch poured over the top Portions were small and incomplete Out of several beers that were on their menu No way this place stays open for another year. I know it’s been there for a while, but it was empty at 7:30 on a Saturday. It was so overpriced for what we got.

    We had a lovely pre-Fox Theater dinner at Livingston’s. Very good service from Ehren, Sonoma-Cutrer wine, and a Spicy Shrimp and Lobster Linguine dish that was fabulous! We arrived at 5:00 for our reservation, and were served our drinks and dinner promptly. We have dined here before, and we see that Livingston’s had made significant positive changes in its food, service, and value. We appreciate your efforts to make pre-theater dining go so smoothly!

    Went to the pride brunch. For $110 I would have expected better food and service. My burger was raw, the server was slow taking our order, brought our food, then didn’t return for over 30 minutes. I asked if I could have another crab cake instead of trying another burger. He brought another crab cake and desert and that was the last we saw of him. Definitely not worth it. We did have a great view of the pride parade, but will not be back.

    As others have noted in their reviews - beware of Livingston and the downstairs speakeasy at Georgian Terrace Hotel. They both have an automatic gratuity policy of 20% that the server won't tell you about NOR will they provide you with an itemized receipt of your purchase unless you ask for it specifically. What they WILL do is bring a bill with a tip line that you'll politely fill-in at 20% if your service was good. That means you've given them 44% total tip on your restaurant or bar charges. It happened to us 3x this past weekend at the Livingston Bar, the Livingston Restaurant, and (apres-show at The Fox) - the downstairs bar (speakeasy). Infuriating and a bit slimy if you ask me. Now...here's the thing...our stay at the Georgian Terrace was wonderful. Our room was awesome. The valet, the front desk clerk, the maid, the bar and restaurant servers were all great. The food took a while to come out pre-show but we had the steak and it was well-prepared (nice job, Chef!) and our wines were properly served at the right temp. I actually don't even mind the auto-gratuity in this case - I understand these folks work HARD and rely on gratuity. In my view - it's just completely unnecessary to NOT be transparent and ruins the experience. YMMV but - be aware and vigilant for now. Georgian Terrace - you're better than this.

    Livingston Restaurant + BarResponded on October 20, 2023

    Thank you for choosing the Livingston, we appreciate your business and your feedback! Gratuity of 20% is automatically applied to all final bills, it is listed on all our Menus, and on all itemized receipts above the additional tip line. We do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you, considering you had awesome food and service, we are sad that this part drowned your experience. We have taken your feedback very seriously and are looking to make immediate changes regarding auto gratuity and table side service.

    The service was not good last night at all. I have been there several times and this is the first time it was horrible. It took forever to get water in our glasses and a drink from the bar was a 30 minute wait. We had a res at 5 and almost did not make it to the Fox by 7. It was so very slow. I had talked up the restaurant to the 3 guests that I brought with me and then the service was so slow. Also, the server never said that the tip was already included. Tacky. Very tacky especially for the service we got. I won't be back for the price of your restaurant. It was not worth the money last night.

    Bad service. Can’t blame entirely waiter cause he was the only one for 10 tables. Took forever and had to go inside looking for him several times. I’ve lived across Livingston for many years and bad service has been a constant. They need a manager that knows about it and cares enough. Food was OK but overall experience not as it should be for price and being in GA terrace.

    Our table was ready upon arrival. After 20 minutes of waiting to be acknowledged I waved down the hostess who then had a conversation with a server right by our table - unprofessional!!! She still walked away instead of adddressing our table. She finally came back a few minutes later to take our drink order with no concern about our wait. I had to ask repeatedly for water which seemed to annoy her. The food was mediocre at best but the service was totally unacceptable. She never even made eye contact when she brought our bill. I guess it doesn't matter how you act when an automatic 20% gratuity is added - for 4 people!!! Will not go back!

    The waitress was so slow. Pre-fixed play menu with only six items to choose from and she gave us twenty minutes to look over it. Our salads finally came out but our entrees never did. We were going to be late for the play. I asked the manager and our food order was never turned in is what he said. He gave us a good voucher. But we didn’t have dinner. Very disappointed. We missed the opening act.

    My sister-in-law and I had tickets to Leanne Morgan at the Fox and we were delighted to be able to dine at the Livingston! We were seated at a lovely window-side table so we could see the Fox marquee and all the "goings-on" on Peachtree street...it was so nice! The service was excellent and so was the food...very large portions, too much to eat at one sitting! Thank you for a lovely experience!!

    Not the place to go before a Fox Theater show. Not managed well for getting people in and out with a nice meal and good service. The cocktail never came, had to go to bartender to get it because waitress never came around to check on the table. Long long wait between salad and entree and then another long wait for credit card to be charged. The food was delicious, but the price fix was high for what we got.

    Understaffed and unfriendly wait staff. Cocktails never came until after main course arrived. Unappetizing steak entree

    We went to the Livingston for dinner prior to a show at the Fox Theater. We chose items off the Pre-Fixed (Fox Theatre) Menu, so we could get in and out. We sat down at 6:45, and received our food at 8:05 pm, the show started at 8 pm….we were the last folks in the restaurant, everyone else had left 20 minutes earlier for the show. It was very apparent that the server forgot to put our meal in, and when it came out we had to shovel it out faces. Normally I wouldn’t write a negative review based on a server making a mistake, it happens, I get it. But they also double charged us for the wine, didn’t bring our desert (that was part of the pre-fixed menu) and hit us with an automatic 20% tip on a table for four. And since we were so late for the show already I didn’t have the time to sit there and scream around for them to correct it. Hands down it was the worst customer experience at a restaurant I have experienced in a long time!

    Thank you for choosing the Livingston, we value your business and your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the service you experienced. We have taken this opportunity to implement steps of service on busy show nights to avoid reoccurring issues. It is ideal with the traffic we get from the Fox to allow at least 2 hours for service on show nights to receive the total dining experience. Food is made to order, as we no longer service a pre-set or speedy menu. To date, we have adjusted are automatic gratuity policy. We hope to serve you again in the near future.

    Arrived on time for reservation and was seated fairly promptly. However, once seated, we were able to place a drink order about 15 minutes in and after being seated for 40 minutes, we had to cancel drink orders and leave. Appeared to be three servers for the entire restaurant who were simply overworked.

    IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: We were there on a Fox Theatre show night. There also happened to be a wedding going on across the hall, but I’m not sure how much if at all that impacted the restaurant. When we checked in for our reservation (we were 30 minutes late, yikes!) we were told that they were very busy, and understaffed, so please be patient and they would do their best to get us taken care of and on our way. The food was very good! We had the Tempura Calamari (spicy and very flavorful), the Grilled Peach Salad, and the Sautéed Mushrooms (pretty standard but still good). I ordered The Bee’s Knees cocktail and they either forgot the honey out there wasn’t enough for my taste. Too sour! Here’s the most important part of my review. It was a show night, we were seated with 45 minutes until the scheduled show start time, which was by then 45 minutes after our reservation time. We knew we were behind schedule and that it was partly our fault, so I think we had a good perspective on the whole thing. There were many other parties though who did not handle the pace of service well at all. (The couple who checked in before us was especially rude about “not getting their food on time” etc. but seriously, who makes a 6pm reservation at the most popular restaurant for pre-show dinner when the show starts at 7pm?! That was their fault.) I’m not even going to say the service was slow. We were seated at the main table that faces the open kitchen. They were pumping out food at an incredible pace. They even pulled in the Concierge and the Sommelier to help run food. The biggest impression we were left with was how admirably the staff performed. All the servers, the chefs, the hotel staff that jumped in to help, they all stayed calm, stayed polite with each other and the guests, no one ever raised their voice, or acted rude at all. Kudos to the staff for being there and making the best out of a crappy situation. The guests that complained owe y’all a major apology.

    Food great but waited for over an hour for our food. Was going to the theater after dinner and had to rush thru our meal.

    You can tell the restaurant is WAY under-staffed. We did not receive the cocktails we ordered when we were sat at our table until after we finished our entrees. Miserable experience from start to finish.

    The service was truly terrible. 30 minutes to get some water. Over an hour for drinks. We got there 1.5 hours before we needed to be across the street from the show and they gave us our food as the show started. Then they had mandatory 20% gratuity on the bill - which is obviously not what we would have chosen. Will not be returning or recommending.
